On the other hand, the remaining data in the report emphasize that spam, junk, and random pages generated a lot of interest during the period.

Implication for Marketers

The key for online engagement is Posts that are emotionally charged, with anger and joy being two of the most shareable emotions. Trigger these responses in marketers’ audience, and they’ll generate engagement, since more emotional pull implies more comments, reactions, and more reach, since the algorithm will deliver the content a lot of awareness relying on that activity. The evolutionary algorithm, the power of Comments and likes, and the notification hype –  each of these factors contribute to the increasingly partisan media landscape. Added to this is the driving force to start sharing more and more burning voices, which marketers can use to engage and reach more to expand their brand awareness.
